Peacemaker has found its home in the UK, with an air date set for later this month.The forthcoming show focuses on Cena’s character which he first played in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad last year.Alongside Cena, the show stars Steve Agee, Danielle Brooks, Robert Patrick, Jennifer Holland, Freddie Stroma and Chukwudi Iwuji.Watch the new trailer for Peacemaker here:An official description for the show reads: “Peacemaker will explore the origins of the character that John Cena first portrayed in James Gunn’s 2021 film, The Suicide Squad – a compellingly vainglorious man who believes in peace at any cost, no matter how many people he has to kill to get it.”In a four-star review of The Suicide Squad, NME wrote: “Gunn succeeds in juggling characters from the original Suicide Squad movie – Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman) becomes an unexpected voice of reason here – with new recruits including Peacemaker (John Cena), a jacked All-American patriot with a deeply questionable moral code.“Appealingly played by Cena, the latter’s story arc should whet appetites for HBO Max’s upcoming Peacemaker TV series.” Peacemaker will be available to watch on Sky Max and NOW from March 22.
Bill Maher Attacks John Cena, LeBron James, Tom Cruise, Eileen Gu For Siding With Totalitarian China
19.02.2022 - 08:21 / deadline.com
Bill Maher couldn’t hide his contempt for the country hosting the Winter Olympics on his Friday Real Time.
Maher called out freestyle skier Eileen Gu, an American-born skier who chose to participate on China’s Olympic team for the Beijing games. Gu hasn’t said whether she gave up her American citizenship to do so, but plans to return to Stanford University and has reaped millions of dollars in product endorsements in China.
“She chose to represent a totalitarian police state over America,” Maher said, calling it an “authoritarian surveillance state.”
Acknowledging that the United States has its problems, Maher noted that at least the US is “a democracy based on freedom.” China has “jailed an entire ethnic minority,” and said it was a cynical dodge to overlook China’s sins in its treatment of Hong Kong freedom and its desire for a Taiwan take-back.
Maher recalled the outrage when NBA general manager Daryl Morey said he stood with the people of Hong Kong. There was an uncomfortable statement of regret from the NBA, with LeBron James calling for Morey’s reeducation. After all, Maher noted, James likely thought, “I got some shoes to sell.”
Kowtow is a Chinese word, but America have gotten good at it, Maher said, and will allow access to its vast markets only if you shut up about its problems. He noted how Google backed off from its “do no evil” motto to permit China to dictate terms on its operation in that country. “Okay, maybe a little evil.”
.John Cena was even worse, in Maher’s eyes. “John learned he needed some reeducation, like the Uighurs,” Maher said. Cena referred to Taiwan as a country, an unforgiveable sin in China eyes, which feels it is a renegade province. Cena subsequently issued a groveling video, apologizing.
